Married and Moved to Minnesota

People say that you should be cautious about making too many major life changes in a short amount of time. Well, Jenna and I decided to go against the grain and make 3 major life changes in the span of 3 weeks...and you know, I think we're doing pretty well!

On August 7th Jenna and I had an amazing wedding where we were surrounded by some pretty incredible friends and family! Thanks to everyone who came, helped in any way, or was praying with us about this day! In the days after our wedding Jenna and I couldn't think of anything that we would have changed about the wedding or reception...it was just that awesome!

A few days after our wedding we made it to Minneapolis Minnesota to our apartment at Northwestern College! Jenna started her new job as a Resident Director two weeks before our wedding and they were gracious enough to allow us some time before and after the wedding so that we could make the transition and move. Its been great getting to know some new people and seeing how God is going to use us in new ways. I like new beginnings.

Here are a few pictures of the new apartment and how we've tried to make use of the space!



So this is our new home...filled with all sorts of Ikea products!

With all of the changes pretty much complete I think I can safely say we handled it well. No major breakdowns or issues with the wedding, move, or job change. God's really blessed us and we're excited for what is in store for us here!

Thanks for praying with and for us!

P.S. - Come and visit! Oh, and check out the wedding pictures on facebook!

I Couldn't Sleep...

"He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD." Proverbs 18:22

"A good wife is a great blessing to a man. He that finds a wife (that is, a wife indeed; a bad wife does not deserve to be called by a name of so much honour), that finds a help meet for him (that is a wife in the original acceptation of the word), that sought such a one with care and prayer and has found what he sought, he has found a good thing, a jewel of great value, a rare jewel; he has found that which will not only contribute more than any thing to his comfort in this life, but will forward him in the way to heaven. God is to be acknowledged in it with thankfulness; it is a token of his favour, and a happy pledge of further favours; it is a sign that God delights in a man to do him good and has mercy in store for him; for this, therefore, God must be sought unto." - Matthew Henry

I'm pretty blessed. I think I've "found" a good wife and I'm very much looking forward to how my wife (that is fun to say) will "not only contribute more that any thing to my comfort in this life, but will forward me in the way of heaven." I've already seen in a multitude of ways how Jenna has challenged me to grow in my faith and trust in Christ and I cannot imagine how going through every step in life together will continue to allow this to happen. Believe me, I am incredibly thankful for the blessing of being able to marry a wonderful woman and if this is the beginning of ways that God will show mercy on me, I can't wait to see what the future holds!

2 days left!
